Kellogg’s Breakfast Tomato
Latin Name:
Solanum lycopersicum Kellogg’s BreakfastHuge, oblate shaped, beefsteak-type, orange fruit, with a wonderful flavor. These thin-skinned, meaty tomatoes have few seeds and a sweet and tangy flavor.
The Kellogg Breakfast tomato was named by Darrell Kellogg, a Seed Saver Exchange (SSE) member and not the Kellogg of cereal fame (that’s Will Keith Kellogg). The tomato itself originated in West Virginia and came to Darrell Kellogg from a friend. He grew the tomato in his Michigan garden and liked it so much that he saved the seeds from the fruit and continued growing them. Kellogg gave seeds to Bill Minkey who then introduced the seeds to SSE in 1993. From there the tomato has become quite popular among fans of tasty heirloom varieties.
